Kastelruth - Castelrotto: Seis am Schlern - Florianlift Bergstation
Tucked between the Sciliar massif and the Dolomites, Castelrotto is a place whose character is shaped by the high pastures of the Alpe di Siusi. Known in German as Seiser Alm, this plateau forms one of Europe’s largest high-altitude meadow landscapes, extending above the villages of South Tyrol. The Florian lift is part of the local network linking open grazing grounds with forested slopes. Cattle farming and the seasonal making of hay remain central to the area’s working landscape, while Castelrotto reflects South Tyrol’s German, Italian and Ladin cultural setting. The nearby Sciliar/Schlern is among the region’s defining Dolomite massifs.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
